## Summary

Commercial Services Kent Ltd procured market intelligence licences, classified as data services, for its organisational needs. The requirement covered access to market intelligence through licensed services rather than the delivery of physical goods or construction works. The buying organisation is Commercial Services Kent Ltd, a public authority based in West Malling, Kent. The service was supplied by Tussell Ltd, an SME headquartered in London. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement, with the service associated with one completed lot. This opportunity is relevant to providers of subscription-based market intelligence, public sector procurement data, commercial research platforms, data services and related licensing arrangements. Suppliers offering software-enabled access to structured market or contracting information would be closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Tussell Ltd. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the published method described as unknown. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £34,200 gross, excluding any figures not stated in the contract record. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement had one lot, which is complete, and the award relates to that lot. The requirement was evaluated through the buyer’s below-threshold process; the available record does not set out award criteria or weightings. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the contract scale and delivery model were accessible to a specialist smaller provider.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Commercial Services Kent Ltd for licensed market intelligence and data services delivered over a multi-year period. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a dependable market intelligence platform, authoritative and regularly maintained data, clear licensing rights and the ability to provide users with consistent access throughout the service period. Relevant experience would include serving public sector or commercial customers, presenting procurement or market information in a usable form, and supporting customers with onboarding, account administration and service queries. The successful supplier’s SME status shows that a large corporate structure was not essential for this requirement. Specialist data providers, research businesses and software companies with demonstrable information quality and service continuity would be well placed.
